Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Things can Change ❯ Darien nice?! ( Chapter 1 )
Things can change
Serena sighed as she walked away from her school all of her friends had already left to go home and she was walking by herself. She held out her history test looking it over. 'How? How could I of gotten such a low grade? I studied real hard this time, I actually gave up my comics so that I could study and still I get such a low grade…' She wiped a tear away from her eye "it's not far I study and still I fail…I can't do anything right!" she shaped the paper into a ball and then threw it at a trashcan.
'I just want to get away! Maybe a few days away from here wouldn't be so bad? The negaverse has really been getting on my nerves lately and it's pretty stressful being the hero of the people, the champion of justice…maybe, just maybe I should go away for awhile…would anyone care? No one's been paying attention to me lately and they just think I'm a pain…'
She had been walking and hadn't been paying attention to where she was going and she ran into someone and began to fall, but a pair of strong arms grabbed her wrist and pulled her up. She looked up in surprise "I…I …I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention to…." a hand went up to her mouth stopping her from talking "Hey Meatball head it's okay don't worry about it" she glared and looked at him suspiciously his hand still on her mouth. He realized his hand was still on her mouth and he quickly moved it "sorry" he said. ' What the hell?! He just insulted me and then was nice at the same time'
"Darien what is wrong with you?!" she asked. He looked at her in surprise "what do you mean what is wrong with me? Nothing's wrong with me…" he said as he raised an eyebrow looking at her. "There has to be!" she said her voice getting higher but not louder. "And why would that be?" he asked wondering if she hit her head to hard on something at school or what.
She almost laughed "Your in a good mood aren't you? Cause if your not then you've gone crazy, cause your actually being nice to me, yet you also insulted me at the same time but still you being nice to me is a first." He smirked "No you see I finally took a trip on the loony boat and so that's why I'm being nice, not cause I'm in a good mood, It's also the reason why I both insulted you and was trying to be nice" he was obviously being sarcastic and even Serena could tell but she decided that she was going to have fun and joke around with him "How?! How did you find my secret boat for the loonies?" She made her eye's go wide in fake surprise and then added a questioning gaze at him.
He laughed, "well it was easy see all I had to do was not look where I was going and then I accidentally stumbled across it." She actually smiled and then laughed lightly "Your really in a good mood if you can joke around with me and not be such a meanie." He smiled he would of taken offense on her comment but he decided against it, he had been watching her for a time before she had run into him or well him purposely standing in front of her so that it would appear that she ran into him. He didn't do that to be mean he did it so that he could talk to her and cheer her up. He had seen how miserable she had been and had even seen her cry and he wanted to not have her cry to not have her in pain anymore.
He smiled "Well then since I'm in such a good mood how would you like to come on a walk with me?" She looked at him wondering if he hit his head on something but didn't say anything "where or where to?" she asked. His smile got bigger if it actually could of. "How about around the park?" She smiled "well then that sounds alright, but I'd have to go home to tell mother that I'm going out cause I'm already supposed to be home." she sighed as she thought of her mother and how mad she probably already was "Plus I'd like to change into something that's not my school uniform" she pointed to her uniform and then added as an after thought "if that's alright with you any way's…"
He smiled slightly "alright then let's go…" he looked around "how far do you live from here?" he asked. "well um…I'm not really sure…" she said trying to think. He raised an eyebrow at her "how can you not know how far you live from here? It's on your way to the school isn't it?" he said pointing around him to show what he was talking about "well yah but you know me I run to school and get there in like ten seconds" she said blushing and rubbing the back of her neck.
He rolled his eye's and did some calculations in Serena terms "well let's see…..we times seconds it takes for you to run compared to your running speed…" his brain was starting to hurt from trying to figure it out. He gave up and then smirked at her. She looked at him her eye's widening "um Darien?" "Yes?" he asked. "What are you planning?" she asked nervously. "Planning? Why would I be planning something?" he asked faking being clueless. She glared "don't answer my question's with another question." He laughed at her and she glared more.
"I'm seriously not planning anything….well nothing bad anyway….." he said as an after thought. She looked at him suspiciously. He smiled "Serena how much do you like motorcycles? Or well riding on one?" She looked at him smiling brightly "well um I've only rode once, but I loved it…why do you ask?" He smiled and then starting walking motioning for her to follow him.
She followed him following a few feet behind him. He turned around a corner and she lost sight of him but she knew that she would be in eye sight of him in a few seconds. She rounded the corner only to have a blue helmet thrown at her, luckily for once she caught something and then she stared at it for a few seconds "what's this for?" She then finally looked up to see Darien holding a black helmet under his arm "shall we go?" he asked. She stared at him shocked "are you serious?!"
He smiled and nodded "Yup sure am." She let out a squeal of delight and put the blue helmet on. "Uh I don't think I did something right" she said pointing to her helmet. 'wow she can mess up even putting a helmet on… Aw… but she looks so cute! Eh where'd that come from? I think I'm starting to sound like the screaming girls that I see everyday…' He shook his head and then walked over to Serena slowly fixing her helmet. His hand brushed across her cheek and a light blush came to her face.
He then smiled at her putting his own black helmet on and then he walked over to his motorcycle and threw one leg over the side and sat down on the seat moving forward enough so that she would have room to sit down on. She walked over to him standing a few feet away. He looked at her "Something wrong?" she shook her head "nope not a thing" she slowly walked up to it and swung one leg over the side and, then moved her skirt a little so she would be more comfortable, and sat down.
He watched her from the corner of his eye "Ready?" he asked turning on the motorcycle. "Yes" she said. "Okay then hold on tight!…hey wait a minute…um what way do I go?" he asked finally realizing he didn't know where she lived. "huh? Oh um just turn around the corner and go straight until I tell you to turn okay?" she said. He nodded "hold on tight then." She wrapped her arms around his waist squeezing lightly. As soon as the motorcycle started on and went faster her grip on his waist tightened but not enough to where it hurt him or bothered him.
She gave him the directions and soon they were a couple of feet away from her house. He turned off the engine and looked at her "Want me to come in with you or wait here?" she thought about it for a moment "you can come with me, it should only be my mom and brother so it'd be safe to let you come in cause dad's at work." Darien raised an eyebrow "What do you mean it'd be safe for me to come in…is it dangerous or something with your dad there?" She giggled "only for you." "only for me" he muttered under his breathe. "HEY! What's that supposed to mean?!" he asked. She sighed "I have an over protective dad and your 4 years older than me do the math."
He thought about it for a second "I see…Wait a minute so what if I'm 4 years older than you, that's no big deal" she smiled and shook her head "To my dad it is." He nodded "I see…" then realization dawned on him "Hey wait a minute he shouldn't bother me, it's not like were on a date or more than friends so he would have no reason to kill me." She burst out laughing and he looked at her "What's so funny?" "You….well not exactly. You see he might not have reason to kill you because of the proof but you try actually getting him to believe that and then your safe."
"Oh…point taken…" he said. She flashed him a big smile "Shall we go then?" he nodded. She took the blue helmet off of her head placing it on one of the handles of the motorcycle. Darien looked at her for a few seconds and then he placed his black helmet on the other handle of the motorcycle. He hadn't even remembered taken it off or putting it on the handle and so he reached to take the helmet off but found that it was already off. He blushed at his hands which were in the middle of the air at about the height of his chin.
Serena giggled looking at him, and then he covered his absent minded stage by running his hands through his hair. They walked up to the door together and Serena tried pushing the door open but found that it was locked. She then noticed her mom's car wasn't there, and neither was her father's which wasn't a big surprise, but her mom was usually home when she got home. She reached above the door frame standing on her tip toes and not reaching the top of the frame she tried running her hand along it to see if she could reach it if she tried harder. Darien looked at her curiously his eye's wandering along her body before he realized what he was doing. He looked at her head again "Um Serena what are you doing?" She started jumping to see if she could reach the top of the door. She sighed giving up.
Then she remembered Darien was there and blushed a deep red. She had just realized she had just started jumping up and down in front of him….not that she was paying attention to what she was doing. Then a thought struck her and she smacked her forehead with her palm. "Hey Darien! Run your hand along the top of the frame of the door for me okay?" she asked giving him a cute pretty please look. He looked at her questioningly but he started running his hand along the door frame and suddenly he found his hand was on something hard and he pulled it down and looked at it. He smiled when he realized it was a key.
He smirked at her "Oh now I get it you were looking for your keys…" She looked at him raising an eyebrow "well what'd yah think I was doing?" as soon as she said that a blush came upon her cheeks "pervert" she mumbled grabbing the key from his hand. He smirked again "well what can you expect from me I am a guy after all…" She rolled her eye's putting the key in the doorknob she then opened the door pulling the key out and walking into the house. She let him enter before closing the door. "I'm home!" she yelled just in case someone was home. She sighed when she got no response.
She looked at Darien "Okay I'll be right back so wait here" He nodded and then sat on her couch showing that he was going to behave himself. She ran up the stairs into her room quickly taking her clothes off and changing into a white tank top. She thought for a moment of what skirt to wear and then decided on her new black ruffled skirt. The ruffles were vertical which she liked cause it looked a lot like her Sailor skirt except it was just a little short of finger tip length. So she liked how it was longer than her Sailor skirt.
She looked at the skirt again and then decided against it. She grabbed her other black skirt that was the same length the only difference was that the ruffles were horizontal instead of vertical. She quickly put the skirt on and grabbed a black back pack purse. ' hm… I seem to like black all of a sudden.' She decided she'd wear her school shoes so she was ready. She walked downstairs slowly.
She was about to yell at him when she saw that he wasn't sitting down on the couch but then she saw him looking at a picture of her and her family. She slowly reached the bottom of the stairs. (managing not to trip…truly a miracle) She walked slowly behind Darien and smirked. She had the perfect opportunity to scare him. She thought for a moment before she stood on her tip toes so that she was at the level with his neck.
She stood like that for a couple of seconds and then tapped him on the shoulder gently. He jumped slightly and was about to turn around but felt a pair of arms drape over his shoulders. His eye's widened and he tried looking at the person behind him but couldn't. "Serena?" he asked. He heard a giggle from the person and knew that it was her. "What are you doing?" he asked. "I was just about to ask you the same thing" she said.
"I'm looking at a picture…" he trailed off he felt her head on his shoulder looking at the picture. "That was taken not to long ago" she said for him. "It was either a year or two ago." she added. "Must be nice" he said. She raised an eyebrow "what be nice?…I mean what must be nice?" she asked curiously. "Oh um well nothing, nothing really" he said he wanted to get off the subject. She was about to say something but felt him turn around fast her head fell off his shoulders and she was about to fall to the ground from the force but he caught her by grabbing her waist and pulling her close to him.
Disclaim: I own nothing except the story.
A/N: Hehe I left you with a fragment of the story…fragments will be known as chapters since the story its self is too long for someone to read in one chapter like I planned. Plus I just recently decided to make a plot for after the first 3 or 4 chapters. I had the story almost complete but then I got a idea and now it's going to get continued for awhile until I'm tired of this story, I have no time for it, or I finish it. Reviews = updates quicker. I can update pretty soon as long as my computer works and I get enough reviews to where I consider it enough to continue. I have a boyfriend so I don't have as much free time as I would like to work on stories, but I'm not complaining I love him so much and have been waiting for more than 2 years for him to finally be with me. ^.^ my depression is over….well my big depression is. I was always before trying to figure out how to get over him, but then he….um I'm blabbing on and on and I know you don't want to hear about my love life.
